EDITORS COMMENTS
The vibrant and comical postcard titled "Fishmonger" captures the essence of early 20th-century humor and food-related themes. Created by Reg Carter, a renowned artist from the era, this color lithograph showcases his talent for combining history with wit. In this delightful scene, we are transported to a bustling shop on a shopping street near the North Sea. The fishmonger himself takes center stage, displaying his craftsmanship as he proudly presents an array of fresh fish to potential customers. His stoutness adds a touch of humor to the image, emphasizing the abundance and quality of his offerings. Set against the backdrop of World War I, this postcard also serves as a reminder of historical context. Rationing was prevalent during this time, making access to food supplies challenging for many. However, in true comic fashion, Carter's portrayal brings light-heartedness even amidst difficult circumstances. As we observe this snapshot from the past through Bridgeman Images' print collection, it is impossible not to appreciate both its artistic value and its ability to evoke nostalgia. The vivid colors bring life to every detail - from the sea creatures swimming in their watery habitat to the animated expressions on each character's face. This Fishmonger postcard stands as a testament to Reg Carter's skillful storytelling through artistry while offering us an amusing glimpse into early 20th-century life at sea and on land.
